Wow, this is great news!

I'm just below Emerald with Gold rank and a large editorial port. I've written to contributor support with a link to my work to see if I can be included early.

Great news, Thanks Mat

Stu :-)

Great news

hah, just kidding @Mat, no offense.

I got greater news, already uploaded and listed!

Jokes aside, that is a nice move from Adobe side, as far as I remember
it is not that long that Mat & Dennis run a thread / poll to see our
opinions and intentions on editorial submittions

I am miles away from the 25.000 downloads but I have still sent the email with my small illustrative port.
What Adobe Stock could do, aside illustrative editorials, is accept a limited per month number of editorial photos and videos until they shape an initial opinion. This could also discourage all contributors from uploading every single asset we have, since we would have to think twice about our content to send. It is not difficult to understand both sides lose earnings from not being able to do that. Such a move could make Adobe lower the risk they are probably trying to weigh prior to enabling editorial uploads.

Thanks. Is there a way to know how many downloads we still have to have to reach next level or the rank system died and we got frozen where we were? I have an idea this was discussed in the past but cannot remember.
I googled it, not sure if the info is on the adobe image manager. you need 25K downloads to be emerald, and that's quite a challenge nowadays. your total DLs are on your dashboard. I am a long way off. :/

Rank details can be found here but yes, 25,000 is the number to hit for Emerald: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/royalty-details.html

If you have an existing collection of Illustrative Editorial online, send us an email via the contact us link at the bottom of the portal and we may be able to accept your work.

Kind regards,

Mat Hayward

How many illustrative photos would I need to be considered? I'm faaaaar from the downloads but it's mostly because I shot editorial

This is a great beginning! Any feel for when we can expect it will be opened up to photos with non-released people in them?

yeah, I don't have a lot, maybe 100. I don't focus on editorial enough.

Hi,

I just want to direct this message to Matt and anyone else from Adobe Stock who comes on here, I've been a long time reader but not often was I posting.

Thank you for coming in on forums like this and being so honest and helpful with contributors, believe me it is more refreshing that you probably imagine considering how the other agencies deal with us including the one that used to be the most fair and reasonable to deal with but sadly they've gone in a different direction.

It's a business for us but we aren't getting rich here and when we get tricked and screwed and told all this "good news" only to see the payouts drop or realize that we've been out manoeuvred by the very company we trusted it's not good and that's putting it politely.

I am a user of Adobe products (premier and encoder) but I don't have an account with Adobe stock as I am 100% editorial, I don't have a studio and models etc so until you are able to accept editorial I won't be a contributor but I just wanted to pass on my appreciation for you guy coming on here and actually being honest and helpful, was the first thing I noticed.

" so until you are able to accept editorial "

They accept editorial. That's the point.

Someone not emerald accepted?

mj007 · « **Reply #38 on:** August 28, 2019, 15:15 »

They turned me down. They said mine was not quite what they were looking for. Life goes on....

steheap · « **Reply #39 on:** August 28, 2019, 16:28 »

I was turned down, but nicely!

I just got my test batch of editorials accepted.

This is great! More are following.

One more step for AS to close the gap and challenge SS leadership on the market.

MicroVet · « **Reply #41 on:** September 01, 2019, 23:51 »

I cannot find the number of downloads anywhere.

Last time I saw I was Gold and not far from the next level but since then, with the changes to Adobe site, either some information has disappeared from the sites or I forgot where to look and can't find it.

Does anyone knows where to look for the total downloads? Thanks!

mj007 · « **Reply #42 on:** September 02, 2019, 00:05 »

Go to Dashboard ,it will list number of DL and ranking you have. Go to Contributor Account, it will list what level(Gold) you are at.

Just scored my first editorial sale on AS, only few days after uploading it!
Nice!

Shouldn't one video download count as about 30 downloads. Video producers are handicapped with this system because they make Adobe much more money for less downloads. Please correct this flawed system of download ranking. Give higher value sales appropriate ranking.

If you can, would love to see what type of images Adobe accepted from you for editor. Thanks, Scott

Hi everyone,

We have expanded access to contributors ranked Gold and above for Illustrative Editorial content. I will create a new thread with this announcement as well to increase visibility.

Best regards,
